Get all the information you can gather and report to the FBI.
Most likely there in another country so there is not much hope of getting your money back. Sorry your probably just going to have to log this up as an expensive lesson.

Why would you deposit money orders into a bank for someone else? You are joking right? Wow... Contact your local police however chances of you getting anything back are probably slim. You can probably expect some kind of recourse from your bank as well, i.e. deposits have to clear before you can get money for them. Never deposit anything for anyone else. This is probably going to be a costly lesson to you. At least you know now.

You can report to local police agency and send a notice to the person through a lawyer.

Report it to the police, FBI and the FTC if it came the scam came through e-mail. Too bad, so sad a lesson to learn!

Go to the police with the money orders. Tell them everything you know about this persan and maybe they'll find him. You're probably not his first victim

I think I would go to the police with it. Especially if you have a good police department. Other then that, I am not sure.

I am sorry to hear this, I hope the loss was not too great.
US postal inspectors, FBI, and perhaps your state attorney's office could be of help.

Very common scam. Take them to your local police. they will handle it. If it is out of the US not much you can do.
